Use the recommended authentication method such as an API key or OAuth to securely access Contacts API endpoints. Store credentials safely and rotate keys regularly.
Connect Getsitecontrol to Contacts API by exchanging credentials, authorizing scopes, and testing with a sample contact to verify the connection.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL
Create or update tasks in Getsitecontrol based on task data from GHL
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status
When a contact is updated in GHL
Add or update tags on the contact in Getsitecontrol
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tag
Form submission in Getsitecontrol
PUT /contacts/:contactId to update fields
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, updatedFields
Fast, code-free setup to connect Getsitecontrol with the Contacts API using ready-made triggers and field mappings.
Real-time data syncing reduces manual data entry and keeps contacts up to date across tools.
Scalable automation across teams and campaigns with minimal configuration.
This glossary covers API terms used in this guide, including endpoints, authentication methods, webhooks, and rate limits.
A defined URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in the GHL API.
The process of proving identity to access GHL resources, typically via API keys or OAuth.
A real time notification mechanism where one app calls another when an event occurs.
The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given time window.
Automatically create a Getsitecontrol task when a new contact is added in Contacts API, triggered by a form submission.
Tag contacts in GHL based on form input and route them into Getsitecontrol segments for tailored campaigns.
Aggregate notes from Contacts API into the Getsitecontrol activity feed to maintain a complete contact history.
Generate API keys or OAuth client credentials for the Contacts API and store them securely.
Set up form submission triggers to call the API endpoints and pass relevant fields.
Run tests, verify data syncing, and monitor logs for any issues.
Permissions for the Contacts API are governed by the stated Scope, such as contacts.readonly for read access. Use the scope that matches your needs and request additional permissions only if required by your workflow. Ensure credentials are stored securely and access is restricted to trusted apps.
Yes, Zapier can be used as a bridge to connect Getsitecontrol with the Contacts API. This guide focuses on direct API connections, but Zapier can help map fields and automate simple workflows without writing code. You can use Zapier to trigger actions in Getsitecontrol based on Contacts API events.
Real-time syncing depends on the endpoints and event triggers you configure. Some operations provide near real-time updates, while others may be scheduled or triggered by form submissions. Use webhooks where available to achieve faster data refreshes.
The guide covers a broad set of endpoints, including CRUD operations for contacts, tasks, and tags. Access may vary by plan and permissions. The endpoint list shown provides a practical set for typical workflows and can be extended as needed.
Basic API concepts help, but you can often set up a powerful integration with no code using Getsitecontrol form triggers and field mappings. A comfortable understanding of endpoints and data fields is enough to start.
Secure authentication is essential. Use API keys or OAuth, store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and follow least privilege principles. Monitor access and audit logs to detect unusual activity.
